- zbentley 1y agoLooks interesting; does it take a different architectural approach than WarpStream did? That’s not coded “you’re reinventing the wheel”; WarpStream had some significant drawbacks, so I’m truly curious about different approaches in the message-log-backed-by-blob-store space.
- shikhar 1y agoArchitecturally, there are a lot of the same considerations. A key difference is that we offer streams as a cloud API, and it does not have WarpStream's BYOC split – where some stuff runs in your environment and metadata lives in their cloud – so we can offer lower latencies. We are also not trying to be Kafka API compatible, S2 has its own REST API. The dimensions we focus on are number of streams (unlimited, so you can do granular streams like per user or session), internet accessibility (you can generate finely-scoped access tokens that can be safely used from clients like CLIs or browsers), and soon also massive read fanout for feed-like use cases.
